Patient: I put raw bacon my face could I develop trichinosis from this

Doctor: Thank you for writing to us.Usually, you can only get trichinosis from eating undercooked pork. So I do not think th at you have it. If you do not have symptoms like abdominal pain, then do not worry.Hope this helps you.
